Default Re: My first mobile phone (1992)

My first mobile was a car transportable Motorola 4800X around 1988 may have been a bit later it was fitted into F62OJN but not from new.

When not in the car you had to gather up the handset the Radio unit and the Battery pack and carrier assemble it and put it in a smart Black Motorola shoulder bag.

I was doing maintenance and installation of networks back then mostly X25 Stratacom Tellynet Cray, but toward the end IP Cisco and Wellfleet (changed its name to Bay).

It was replaced a few years later by a similar arrangement from Panasonic.

I had it kicking around for years after it was replaced in the early/mid 90's by a little Siemens GSM not sure of the model still have it somewhere!

Cheers
